Mayor Zheng was inaccessible, so they had to speak with Secretary Lu.
Huayuan District had to be cut loose.
Wu Qiangwei and Secretary Lu talked in the office until the end of the workday.
Song Guanchao waited outside; when he saw her emerge, he approached immediately.
"Let's talk when we get back."
She looked somewhat weary; the negotiations had clearly been draining.
Back in the office, Wu Qiangwei pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and after two puffs, snuffed it out.
"Secretary Lu agreed."
Wu Qiangwei said, "The County Party Secretary and the County Magistrate will be decided by me and Minister Zhou, and the Deputy County Magistrate and Huayuan District Party Secretary will be arranged by Secretary Lu."
"Mayor Zheng's side, he will handle it."
This was different from Minister Zhou; Wu Qiangwei had actively sought Minister Zhou's cooperation, knowing she had to handle everything herself.
With Secretary Lu, it was an exchange of interests.
